As experts ponder the implications of America's stepping-back from world political leadership, finance professionals are openly discussing what the world will be like without the US dollar as the primary unit of international and domestic trade. In the meantime, American businesses are considering the benefits of a new economy based on food stamps.

"While the dollar's future is glum, the food stamp is on its ascendency," said Melanie Carnegie, a senior financial analyst at the non-partisan Cloward-Piven Strategy Institute in Washington, DC. "We at Cloward-Piven are actively working with big corporations, such as J.P. Morgan and Xerox, to get them into Food Stamp distribution programs. We also assist them in lobbying Washington politicians to qualify all citizens for food stamps as a replacement for dollars in terms of purchases and even savings."

According to Carnegie, the number of food stamp recipients in the last three years increased by over 15 million and now represents well over 10% of US households. "More and more people are becoming comfortable with food stamps, and soon I think the public will be willing to give up cash in favor of the EBT card," she said. "This is the change we've been waiting for."

The change is obvious: once relegated to the poor and stigmatized, the Food Stamp is not just becoming more accepted, it is looking very lucrative for many US businesses struggling with a slow recovery and a large pool of potential customers sidelined from the market by unemployment.

"Everyone knows that food stamps stimulate the economy by putting purchasing power back in the hands of the unemployed, but the really great thing about them is that you don't even have to be unemployed to get them," Carnegie said. "Plus, they are not regulated in the same manner as the US dollar is, and so this gives the President more flexibility to increase the supply."

Carnegie added that this flexibility also allows the White House to redirect funds more equitably than private bank accounts and personal finances. She envisions a time when every U.S. citizens will only need one EBT card instead of multiple accounts.

"The credit card will soon also go the way of the dollar," Carnegie noted. "Poor citizens notoriously have difficulty getting credit or managing their debt. But the EBT program allows the government to assist them in managing their finances so that they will always have enough to eat."

Some speculate that the EBT card must also include specifications for purchases, such as quotas of certain products that must be acquired. This will help poor families, who typically have dietary management issues, to make good food choices.

"The EBT will set a 'budget' for a family, telling them what kinds of groceries to buy," said Carnegie. "You may see a time when the EBT will have an associated app for your government-issued phone to guide you to the nearest store, or to the one with the shortest lines. There's no end to the possibilities."

Will the dollar be missed? Many American businesses seem to be pragmatic enough to overcome their sentimental attachment to the dollar in favor of something more profitable.

"Our nation is moving in a new direction and there's no way back," Carnegie said. "Big corporations understand that and are willing to assist the government by providing the technological know-how to make this work."

"Corporate executives want to get in on the top floor of this program to lock in their positions. It is going to happen, and now is the time to act," she added optimistically.

This reminds me of the old days in the lab where we trained cute little rats to "press" a bar for food pellets. In the Glorious World of Next Tuesday™ we will "flash" our Obamacard. From lab rats to peasants in a single generation. How progressive!

What's even nicer is that most states are issuing EBT cards, or Electronic Benefit Transfer cards that are used just like a debit card, and the comrade's monthly beet and vodka stipend is automatically transferred to the tovarish's account. There is no end to the things a creative comrade can purchase with such a card and there is no filthy capitalist currency to handle either!

Yes, Comrade, and the Ministry of Equal Redistribution has put out an educational video extolling the virtues of Proletarian participation in EBT...

Commissar Wahoo

And lest we forget, Comrade Peloski noted that food stamps help the economy, so we shall look FORWARD to a great and glorious surge in visits to strip clubs and casinos worker productivity, all because of the EBT card.

Enlisted by class war, these corporations will be turned on by the very demagogues they are partnered with, accused of theft and corruption; demonized and destroyed. When you drink with the devil you get a comfortable chair in hell - until the devil gets tired of you.

Last year during a televised meeting of our local Soviet, one female Commissar commented how "nice" it was that the poor were now able to use their EBT cards to pay their fare on the local People's Mass Transit System, including the purchase of a monthly pass. That enables those tovarichi to easily travel from one onramp to another where they can sit and beg for extra vodka money all day......not to mention ease their travels from one public agency to another and back again.

I know of a print shop in the Little Village neighborhood (in Chitcago) that was run by the father of an alderman (who, defying all logic, is STILL an alderman) that printed any sort of fake documentation for illegal aliens at a modest fee. I'm sure printing up foodstamps and EBT cards wouldn't be a problem for them as well.

I just wonder how long it will take some 'genius' to figure that they should start using the same paper as they do for U.S. currency. Nahhh, who cares.

This is perfect! Soon Michelle Obama will really tell you what you can eat and can't eat. Once we all have Food Stamps, the government will only let you buy food that Michelle has approved. Next Tuesday here we come!

The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand
